The rule was adopted to prevent a recurrence of the Dean broâ€" thers fiasco during a barnstorming trip at the end of the 1935 season. Both leagues votsd that hereafter umpires for all interâ€"league contests National Leaguers declined to adopt the lower admission proposal recomâ€" mended by the American body., The American League previously had apâ€" proved a plan whereby children under 15 would be admitted for 25 cents. The National League must concur before the plan will go into effect. The quesâ€" tion will be taken up again but proâ€" bably not before the 1936 season opens. The league executives refused a reâ€" quest of the American Baseball Assoâ€" ciation for an appropriation of $20,000 to help finance an American baseball team in the 1936 Olympic games. The Major Leaguers, however, apâ€" propriated $20,000 for the American Leâ€" gion‘s junior baseball programme noxt year. Major League club owners concluded their annual mseting at Chicago on Thursday last with a refusal to admit children to baseball games at reduced prices.

Jerry received some severe wounds and knows what soldiering means in the real senhse. He should be an added member of the executive to represent the Schumacher district. In all he has had 5 years as an officer of the branch in the past. W. A. Devine, the only other member on the ballot who has served on the executive! From the very beginning of the branch, an officer, one time taking acting secretaryship and for several months the secretary. My overseas reâ€" cord will speak for itself, and my reâ€" ward a pension. As your correspeondent in The Advance I have tried to keep everyone informed of branch activities, My position has somewhat interfered with my past years‘ work for the branch, but I feel in defeat that the members have chosen wisely. My small part is still at the Legion‘s disposal. It‘s About Time Much has been written about "exâ€" servicemen" or "returned soldiers" in the past. I admit that I have been guilty myself of using the words "reâ€" turned soldiers" very frequently. There is however a movement on foot to have the title of those who served during the war, settled definitely as "exâ€"servicemen." The following clipâ€". ping from this month‘s "Legionary". deals with the subject from an Austraâ€". lian point of view. It is of extreme m- terest and is given herewith:â€" , % Alf, Bellamy, a man of sound judzâ€" ment and ussfulness! AlWf has had about 6 years as an officer of the Legion here. He.has also been the instigator of several fine community efforts of the branch. His overseas record is one of the best. As usual in his manner, in defeat he will be found ready for any job ‘he is detailed to do. Fred Curtis, one of the originals batck again! Fred‘s chest on parade days tells its own story about his overseas career, He ha been a constant worker during the past 10 years for the welfare of the branch and members. His elecâ€" tion was also a popular decision. Among those defeated and who alâ€"o have given good service to the branch, in an executive capacity are the folâ€" lowing: Dr. A. 8. Forter, the man who gets you trips to Christie street, and a penâ€" sion too if he can possibly see a chance. Doc. was a medical officer in the field and can tell some very touching stories of the cases he had overseas. He also has been an active officer of the branch for several years, from the early beginâ€" ning in fact. His ability and learning will be of much use to the new commitâ€" tee as it has been in the past. A good choice indeed by the members. Walter Greaves is another who needs no introduction. He also was on active service and has been ever sincs his return. Walter‘s work on the Legion sick committee has been outstanding for years past. His was a pspular vote and the members know what service he will give during the year. Tom Parsons as usual heads the I‘st of the executive committse. One of the most earnest workers the branch has. Tom saw long service in France and was a fighter in those days too as provâ€" en by his decorations. Tom also served as president of the branch for one year and has been an executive member for the past 6 years. > » | a ale aleate ates ate tos ie 2o use ate ate obectecte ate ate 2and Viceâ€"presidentâ€"A.

Jimmy was with a Scottish regiment in the early days. His work as a member of the relief committee has been outstanding and he fully the honour conferred.! He has also had about 6 years in the branch as an officer,, both on executive and enterâ€" tainment committees. Presidentâ€"A Neame, elected by acâ€" clamation. Everyone is well versed with the amount of work he has done, and how the branch would fsel his abâ€" sence! During the war Austin served with the R. C. D.‘s and the C.AM.C. both at Niagara and Stanley Barracks, Toronto. Because of his special work he. was recalled from overseas draft and therefore did not reach France. much to his disappointed feelings.
